50 Chapter 14 Non-Lethal Weapons 2013 CRTC Range Regulation 19 July DEFINITION: Department of Defense Directive (DODD) defines non-lethal weapons (NLW) as "weapons that are explicitly designed and primarily employed so as to incapacitate personnel or materiel while minimizing fatalities, permanent injury to personnel, and undesired damage to property and the environment." Furthermore, unlike conventional lethal weapons that destroy their targets principally through blast, penetration, and fragmentation, NLW employ means other than gross physical destruction to prevent the target from functioning. NLW are intended to have relatively reversible effects on personnel and materiel." 14.2 GENERAL NOTE: The use of NLW/Less-Lethal Weapons are required to use the range control BLANKS/SIMUNITIONS/LESS-LETHAL RANGES OPENING/CLOSING CHECKLIST The term "non-lethal" does not mean zero mortality or nonpermanent damage. Fatal injuries can occur if munitions are employed at a distance that is less than the determined minimum safe engagement range The Inter-Service Non-Lethal Individual Weapons Instructors Course is the only course in the Department of Defense that is certified to produce instructors who will train individuals in the proper employment of NLWs Purpose: This outline provides a base plan for range operations and range safety from which commanders can design safe realistic training that meets the needs of their subordinate units for conducting Less-Lethal Weapons Training Less-Lethal Weapons Concept of Training a) To train units from the individual level up to the commands level on the usage and employment of Less-Lethal technology both in civil disturbance and combat operations. b) This training is based on doctrine, tactics, techniques, and procedures. It does not replace a commander s lethal capability. The use of Less-Lethal adds to the number of options a commander can use. It gives a course of action when the use of lethal force may not be the best call for the situation Safety Considerations: a) Less-Lethal Weapons are non-lethal by design and intent only. Failure to adhere to the Minimum Safe Distance (MSD) will result in serious bodily injury or DEATH! b) All troops on the firing line must wear eye & ear protection, as well as helmet and IBA. c) Lethal ammo and Less-Lethal ammo will be stored separately. d) Never point a laser (Class 2 or Higher) at anyone s face for more than 5 seconds. e) Troops training with EMDs (X26 & X26E Taser) are not authorized to take a live stun from an EMD. It is prohibited to use on US soldiers by the Dept. of the Army. f) OC spray training must be done by strict DOD standard using an INIWIC instructor. OC spray training will not be done inside of a building or enclosed structure. g) The LRAD must be approved through Range Control NLT 90 days prior to us Authorized Weapons Authorized Weapons Ammunition # of Rounds M320 40mm NLWM Per training requirements FN 303 Cal..68 Cal.

Plans must include wiring diagrams and TNT equivalency conversions General safe practices for handling and transporting explosives are prescribed in TM , FM , and DA Pamphlet A Five (5)-minute to Initiation, AND a One (1)-minute to Blast, warning calls to Range Control are required for all demolition blasts DANGER - Do not conduct demolition work during an electrical storm, snow storm, or near any device that emits static electricity DANGER - Handle blasting caps with extreme care and always carry them in a cap box or non-metallic container to provide protection against shock DANGER - Do not store blasting caps closer than 25 feet from explosives NOTE: All poundage listed in this chapter is in TNT equivalents Gases released by detonation of explosives are toxic. Avoid exposure to fumes. Position personnel upwind from detonation points, and wait until the smoke and fumes disperse before proceeding down range Buried charges will be primed with detonating cord leading to above ground electric or nonelectric blasting caps. Blasting caps will not be buried underground as they are sensitive to shock and may detonate if hit by a metal tool or other hard object Detonating cord should be used to prime charges on above ground charges to minimize the need to use blasting caps. Once the explosive charges are primed with detonating cord, the detonating cord will be initiated with an above ground electric, non-electric blasting cap, or modernized demolition initiator (MDI) Detonation circuits will not be connected or armed on any munitions unless the intent is to detonate the munitions. When munitions are to be detonated, the area will be cleared of all non-mission essential personnel. Live blasting caps or other live detonators will not be located at training sites if munitions are not to be detonated All personnel on any demolitions range will wear a Kevlar helmet, protective body armor, single hearing protection, and ballistic eye protection, regardless of their position on the range Only mission essential personnel will be allowed in the SDZ during firings Mixing of live and inert demolitions for training is prohibited When temporary open storage of explosives is used, stacks will not exceed 500 lbs. of explosives. Distance between stacks will not be less than 45 meters. Demolitions simulators are considered live munitions Prepare charges a minimum of 25 feet from stored demolitions Test all electrical blasting caps with a galvanometer before connecting to any explosive circuit Procedures in FM and DA Pamphlet (Chapter 15, Section 15-1, Paragraphs d., e., and f) will be followed for all demolitions training on Camp Ripley. Both publications, as well as RC Form 5 (Surface Danger Area Overlay Information Safety Card/Demo), must be on the demolition site at all times.

Service, practice, inert mines, and fuzes will not be mixed Practice mines and their fuzes contain a small, low explosive charge or a smoke producing increment. They will be color-coded and separated Claymore mines a) Claymore mines can be fired on J or L Ranges, or on other sites approved by RCO. b) Prior to firing, the OIC checks all mines to ensure that the following has been done: 46

55 1) Mines are installed correctly and facing into the impact area. 2) The face of the mine marked "Front Toward Enemy", and the arrows on top of the mine, are pointed down range. 3) All mines will be secured until the range OIC directs their issue. 4) Emplaced mines will not be disarmed except by order of the OIC. 5) Firing devices will only be connected at the command of the OIC. 6) When more than one mine is to be fired, the OIC will ensure that previous firings have not dislodged the other mines in the impact area. 7) After firing, the impact area will be inspected to ensure that all mines have detonated. 8) When mines are fired, no personnel can be within the 16 meters back blast area. Personnel located in the meters back blast area will be in a fighting position, or behind an approved berm. 9) All personnel will wear Kevlar helmet, protective body armor, and single hearing protection. Eye protection should be worn. 10) Misfires will be handled IAW FM The Volcano multiple delivery mine system is a rapid mine dispensing system for launching antitank mines from various vehicles. The ground system uses 5-ton cargo or dump trucks to dispense the mines. RC Form 1 must be on site for proper deployment of the Volcano, per the SDZ TRIP FLARES (M48 AND M49) Use inert flares to teach students in the use, emplacement, and fuzing of service flares Fence or guard each service trip flare used in training to prevent personnel from approaching within 2 meters of the emplaced flare Clear trip flare positions of flammable material to prevent accidental fires. Do not use the M48 trip flare in areas where fire could cause serious damage SIMULATORS M80 explosive simulators detonate 3 to 5 seconds after ignition of the fuse cord and are capable of causing serious injury. Fuse cord tips should not be split, since this reduces burning time, and increases the potential for injury to personnel. Do not use M1 and M2 type fuse igniters to ignite the M80 fuse cord or hold the M80 simulator when ignited Procedures for the safe use of other simulators are contained in TM , TM , and TM No attempt will be made to disarm or disassemble simulators Commercially manufactured fireworks (designated for civilian use) will not be handled, stored, or used in any way by military personnel on any installation An OIC trained in demolitions supervises emplacement and firing of the detonator. Emplace IAW procedures outlined in FM Each unit must have a dedicated evacuation vehicle with qualified medical aid personnel, and a unit fire fighting team available in the immediate vicinity, after the simulator is exploded. These personnel remain until the area is cleared IED Simulation Kit: The IED Simulation kit and BES provides the tools required to train war fighters for one of the deadliest killers on today s battlefield. a) The IED Simulation kit consists of the following: 1 large Simulator IED (T155FT-V2) 1 Receiver/Transmitter (RT01K4) 1 Mortar Launcher (T81MSD) 1 Pipe Bomb (T50PB) 1 Land Mine (T80PM) 1 Booby Trap (T12TWC) 1 Suicide Bomber Vest (T48SBV) b) Camp Ripley has 2 IED Simulation kits. c) A 2-hour class is required for the Unit s OIC/RSO before they are allowed to draw the equipment.

57 Chapter 16 Laser Range Safety 2013 CRTC Range Regulation 19 July GENERAL: The concept of laser range safety is to prevent intra-beam viewing by unprotected personnel. This chapter prescribes safety procedures to be followed in the use of laser devices Lasing is authorized from Range Control approved surveyed positions only The laser (Tank, BFV, G/VLLD) will be treated like a direct fire weapon, such as a tank main gun or 25 mm cannon, and must be coordinated accordingly. Aircrews will not conduct any over the horizon lasing The use of lasers is authorized on the following ranges: OP-1, OP-16, North, East, West, Center, and any point approved by Range Control Any case of suspected eye exposure to laser radiation will be immediately reported to Range Control for medical evacuation, to ensure performance of an eye examination within 24 hours of exposure. A Range Accident/Incident Checklist will be filled out and submitted to Range Control immediately (see TAB C) Aircrews conducting laser operations will wear laser protective eyewear as required Night vision devices will not be used for laser eye protection devices. These devices are not coverall goggles. Laser energy may enter the eye from reflections or from around the tubes. These devices can be bloomed (white out), damaged, or destroyed from exposure to laser radiation NOTE: Lasers will be treated as direct-fire weapons PRECAUTIONS FOR LASER DEVICES: Laser devices can seriously injure the unprotected eyes of individuals within the laser beam. Intra-beam viewing of either the direct beam or the beam reflected from a mirror-like surface exposes the unprotected eye to a potential hazard and must be avoided FIRING CONDITIONS In addition to instructions on particular laser devices or simulators, the following information is specific for this regulation and installation: a) OIC and RSO must be certified IAW DA Pamphlet , and have a Safety Certification Memorandum on file at Range Control. b) The OIC and RSO must receive the Range Control Safety Briefing from Range Control prior to opening any range. c) The RSO will conduct a detailed safety briefing to the unit conducting laser operation, prior to opening range. d) Medical personnel are not required on the laser range. However, proper channels for obtaining medical assistance should be identified prior to opening the range. e) Continuously monitor Range Control primary frequency , and perform hourly communication checks. f) Warning signs must be posted, and barriers emplaced, to prevent unprotected personnel from moving forward of the firing line. g) A red range flag will be displayed when the range is open. h) Lasing markers, internal and external, must be emplaced by the unit to identify the left and right limits (see TC 25-8 pages C-4 and C-5). i) An approved RC Form 6 (Surface Danger Area Overlay Information Card-Laser) must be utilized for obtaining left and right deflection limits, and vertical angles. 1) Laser firing points with different safety data on the RC Form 6 (i.e. right and left limits) require separate OICs and RSOs for each firing point. 2) Emplace the laser directly over the surveyed positioned stake, which is cemented in the ground, or to the left or right of a tracked vehicle. 3) Ensure adequate backstop is provided for all targets being lased, and target area is free of specular (mirror-like) surfaces. Examples of specular surfaces are vehicle windows, mirrors, plastic sheeting, etc. Glossy foliage, raindrops, and other natural objects are not considered specular surfaces. Report any specular surfaces within your zone of fire to Range Control immediately. 4) The Range OIC will complete a terrain sketch of the sector of fire for the laser prior to laser operations NOTE: Never lase personnel, wildlife, or specular surfaces. Never lase targets within 30 meters of a reflective surface. 49

58 16.4 FORCE ON FORCE EXERCISES: Tactical exercises involving MILES/AGES/AD/TWGSS/PGS do not require SDZ construction, however NOHD restrictions in MIL-HDBK-828A apply. The Post Commander may approve tactical exercises involving force-on-force components using laser devices other than those listed REFERENCES AR AR AR AR FM TB-MED TM

59 Chapter 17 Live Fire Exercises 2013 CRTC Range Regulation 19 July SAFETY DURING LIVE-FIRE EXERCISES Live-Fire phases of training must be conducted with maximum realism and safety. If safety or terrain limitations do require some unrealistic actions to be taken, personnel should be briefed, in detail, on why artificial actions are required and what the unit would do if confronted with a similar situation in combat A Combined Arms Live-Fire Exercise (CALFEX) (Army)/Combined Arms Exercise (CAX) (Marine Corps) involves two or more combat arms and/or DOD services. Air and ground weapons will be used in accordance with current doctrine, unless specifically prohibited from use by this regulation INFORMATION FOR COMMANDERS Training to permit highly realistic maneuvers and LFXs involves specific personnel safety requirements. Installation commanders will publish specific range guidance (for example, regulations, SOPs, and so forth) that apply specifically to their installations. This guidance will define safety requirements to support live-fire training exercises. Directives developed for a particular location are not authorized for use at a different location Commanders whose units participate in live-fire exercises will a) Make certain that all individual gunners including Bradley, tank, and aviation gunners who will take part in live-fire exercises have fired and passed a qualification course for the weapon or system they will fire in the exercise. b) Conduct rehearsal (dry run) exercises prior to the live-fire and maneuver exercise. The commander will assess the proficiency and experience level of his/her unit and the degree of risk involved to determine the scope and duration of the rehearsal and if it should be executed on the same range on which the live-fire and maneuver training will be conducted. The rehearsal should be scheduled as close to the actual event as is feasible to retain individual situational awareness and skills. Additionally, when ever feasible, rehearsals will replicate as closely as possible the conditions involved in the actual event. Such conditions should include but are not limited to time of day, similar terrain, and the status of the personnel (that is uniforms worn, same equipment carried, and camouflage). In addition, rehearsals will include a review of range safety requirements for the live fire and maneuver range. The review should include, but is not limited to: range safety fans (lateral limits), SDZs for weapons and ammunition fired, air limitations and restrictions for both live-fire and medical evacuation, and emergency and/or casualty evacuation procedures. Commander, USASOC, may approve deviation from this requirement for Army Special Forces (ARSOF) units. If ARSOF units are training on a non-usasoc installation, host installation commander concurrence is required. c) Orient participants on the capabilities of the weapons used by other components in the CALFEX/CAX. d) Designate individuals (such as observer-controllers) who are not part of the tactical or administrative scheme to monitor safety. These individuals will maintain visual contact with maneuvering elements and should have some means of signaling a cease-fire. Communications with the tactical operations center is mandatory. The Marine Corps commander will assess the proficiency and experience level of his/her unit in determining the quantity of observer-controllers (that is, safety NCOs) required for the event. Other factors influencing this decision should include but are not limited to: the scheme of maneuver, geometry of the attack, composition of forces, dispersion of forces, visibility, weather conditions, and fatigue. Marine Corps observers-controllers report to the exercise range safety officer, and will have training in local range safety procedures For battalion and squadron or larger exercises, a field grade officer will be appointed as the exercise OIC EXERCISE TRAINING Units will conduct live-fire exercises only in support of properly identified and trained-tostandards mission essential task list (METL) tasks. Tactics, techniques, and procedures employed during the live-fire exercises must be consistent with the standards published in the applicable Army Training Evaluation Program, mission training plan, and/or battle drills. Command approval from the next higher command is required for any life-fire exercise not consistent with the unit s established METL Detailed written plans will be developed between the RCO and the unit OIC. It will require submission of formal risk management documentation prior to execution. If residual risk is extremely high, MACOM commander approval is required. The installation safety director will review the completed plan and risk management documentation that will include: 51

60 a) A detailed plan of maneuver and fire support. b) A list of weapons, ammunition, pyrotechnic or smokes, and chemicals to be used. c) Unit control measures, including means of communication. d) Terrain feature and facilities required Impact distance and limits of advance are as follows: a) The distances to which unprotected troops can safely move near the impact area (that is, areas A, B and C) are indicated in the chapter on each weapon or weapons system. b) To determine how close unprotected troops may maneuver to the target area, an impact area and an SDZ must be established for each target area used. SDZs must be computed and issued to leaders and safety personnel before starting the exercise. When several types of weapons are being fired into one target area, the combined total SDZ (composite SDZ) will govern. These restrictions normally should not preclude unit commanders from selecting tactically sound supporting weapon positions for their scheme of maneuver, provided the positions and directions of fire do not exceed the total range area available for the exercise. When feasible, leaders and safety personnel will be shown the physical limits of the SDZ by ground survey. c) The short limit of the impact area may be moved in the direction of the target area by definite prearrangement to permit forward movement of troops. d) Demolitions may be used during live-fire exercises according to Chapter 16. e) Selection of weapon positions will be the responsibility of unit leaders taking part in the exercise. f) Terrain configuration will be used to enhance safety features when terrain is being selected for livefire exercises involving overhead, flanking fire, or both During live-fire exercise planning, the risk management process must address possible hazards from friendly fire and control measures to reduce or eliminate them, while executing the METL task to published Army/Marine Corps standards FIRING PRECAUTIONS Overhead fire of personnel may be authorized, provided they have positive protection from the munitions being fired. Protected positions for personnel and vehicles are discussed in FM The installation commander (or designated representative) can authorize overhead fire above unprotected personnel except by weapon systems specifically prohibited Weapons specifically authorized for overhead fire of unprotected personnel are a) All artillery cannon firing indirect fire. See Chapter 10 for safety precautions. b) Machine-guns (5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, and.50 caliber) on ground tripods or vehicle mounts (ring mounts excluded) firing from a stationary position Only ammunition approved for overhead fire will be used All firing of direct fire weapons will be from positions that provide an unobstructed field of fire Overhead fire with machineguns in live-fire exercises will be as follows: a) Bullets will not be permitted to impact between the firing position and the rear of the line of unprotected personnel. All impacts should be a minimum of 50 meters beyond the forward line of unprotected personnel. b) Positive stops must be used to prevent crossfire and depression of the muzzle during firing. c) A minimum clearance or safety limit must be established using the guidelines for overhead fire in FM and FM Marine Corps personnel use Marine Corps Warfighting Publication d) Rate of fire will not exceed 70 rounds per minute for 5.56-mm and 7.62-mm machineguns and 40 rounds per minute for.50 caliber machineguns. e) Weapons will be test fired before delivery of overhead fire to verify effectiveness of the positive traverse and depression stops. f) Tracer ammunition may be used as a check to track the projectile flight path In addition to f. above, the following precautions will apply to overhead fire with machineguns for a confidence infiltration course. a) Firing will be from approved platforms as described in FM b) Qualified field maintenance personnel will inspect the mounts and weapons before being declared safe to deliver overhead fire. c) A minimum clearance of 2.5 m over the heads of personnel or the highest obstruction within the field of fire will be maintained. Minimum clearance is the distance between the lowest shot in the dispersion pattern (as determined by the test firing) and the bodies of individuals in erect positions on the highest point of ground, log, or other obstacle over which personnel must travel, or heights of barbed wire strands or posts on the course, whichever is higher. 52

61 All firing of indirect fire weapons will be from positions in which the site to mask allows engagement of the targets nearest to the forward line of troops. Selection of firing positions, direction of fire, and fall of shot must prevent the projectiles from striking trees or other obstacles in the area from the weapon position to a point forward of unprotected personnel. The forward point is defined as the bursting radius of the round, plus 12 probable errors When field artillery is fired during CALFEX/CAX with maneuvering personnel, the impact area will be adjusted according to the maneuver location of troops to maintain safe separation distance. The troop side of the impact area will be determined in relation to the movement of the personnel. Unprotected troops must not be permitted to enter SDZ areas A, B, C, and E after firing has commenced Weapons will be grouped by muzzle velocity as cited in FM 6 40 or pertinent Marine Corps TMs. Weapons will be bore-sighted as prescribed in FM Tubes will be clean and dry before start of exercise and will be cleaned during the exercise in accordance with appropriate weapon TMs All ammunition to be fired should be uniformly conditioned to ambient temperature consistent with the tactical situation Registration. a) At least two rounds should be fired for registration. Targets should be selected in the central portion of the target area. After registration, corrections must be applied to deflection and quadrant elevation limits. If no registration is fired, meteorological and velocity error (MET + VE) corrections will be applied immediately before the exercise starts. b) To compensate for drift, in high-angle fire the right deflection limit will be moved to the left by the amount of the maximum drift listed within the range limits for the charges being fired. The left limit will be moved to the right by the amount of the minimum drift listed within the range limits for the charges being fired. To determine the appropriate drift, the tabular firing table and graphical firing scale must be examined and the safer value used. If a drift value is not listed in the tabular firing table or on the graphical firing scale for the ranges to the near and far edge of the target area, the nearest safer value will be used Overhead fire above unprotected personnel from a moving vehicle or aircraft is prohibited Cannon and mortar flanking fire must not impact any closer to unprotected personnel than the fragmentation radius (area A) prescribed for each weapon Small arms (5.56 mm, 7.62 mm, and.50 caliber), ground-mounted or vehicle-mounted machineguns may be fired at low angles of elevation (near the flank of an individual or unit.) However, there must be an angle of 15 or more between the limit of fire and the near flank of the closest individual or unit and all impacts are beyond the individual or unit. Traversing and depression stops will be provided on machineguns to maintain the required angle and distance between the line of fire and the near flank of an individual or unit Range SOPs will address firing and maneuver unit locations to ensure no unprotected personnel are exposed to training fires FIRE CONTROL The unit commander makes the final decisions on fire control measures. The following conditions must be met: a) The ammunition in (1) through (6) below may be authorized for use in live-fire exercises only when it is fired into designated (dedicated high hazard) impact areas through which personnel are not permitted to maneuver: 1) 40-mm HE 2) 66-mm light antitank weapon (HE) 3) Hand grenades (HE) 4) RAAWS/MAAWS (HE & HEAT) 5) 25-mm (HE) 6) M74 66-mm TPA b) Final coordination lines must be identified to all participating units. c) Weapons used in live-fire exercises will be controlled so that SDZ areas (such as A, B, C, E, and F) do not overlap areas in which unprotected personnel are maneuvering. d) A RSO will directly supervise and control the throwing of fragmentation grenades. The following procedures apply. 1) Hand fragmentation grenades may be thrown during LFXs. Hand grenades will be carried in accordance with FM The fragmentation characteristics of the grenades must be considered and appropriate safety precautions taken to include the following: (a) Impact areas will be free of obstacles (such as trees, thick vegetation, tank hulls, deep snow, or standing water). 53

62 (b) A minimum side-to-side distance of 5 m between each individual during the throwing exercise is required. (c) Throwing positions will protect the throwers from fragments. (d) EOD personnel will destroy dud grenades in place or safe and remove before troops enter the grenade impact area. If EOD personnel are unable to locate or destroy any dud grenades, troop maneuver through the impact area is not authorized. 2) Individuals being transported by vehicle or aircraft will not carry fragmentation, offensive, or white phosphorus grenades attached to web equipment MANEUVER IN TEMPORARY IMPACT AREAS The installation commander may approve maneuver through temporary impact areas containing unexploded munitions The installation commander may approve maneuver through temporary impact areas after reviewing a Composite Risk Management Worksheet (DA Form 7566) and accepting residual risks.

The Siebert Stake has alternating Red and Amber reflective tape that is Night Vision Device compatible The areas marked with Siebert Stakes include, but are not limited to: a) Culturally protected areas b) Historic Fort Ripley c) Closed Dump sites d) Threatened/Endangered species habitat e) Training hazards The Camp Ripley 1:25,000 map displays the Limited Use areas in the field training area. Units should review the map prior to training and plan accordingly. Maps are available at Range Control or by contacting the Training Area Coordinator at (320) RESTRICTIONS ON FIRING WHITE PHOSPHORUS Firing of White Phosphorus ammunition into the sensitive wetland areas within the HENDRICKSON and LEACH Impact Areas is prohibited White Phosphorus will not be fired directly into, or within 100-meters, or have airburst directly over, wetland areas. The sensitive areas, including the 100-meter buffer, are identified on maps located in the Environmental and Range Control Offices, and are included in the Range Packets FIELD WATER POINTS: Camp Ripley has designated three areas for establishing and operating field water points, that are intended to support troops in training for field showers, laundry, and potable water. 1 Crow Wing River UM Mississippi River Rest Area 3 UM Ferrell Lake SE Corner UM Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers are Designated Zebra Mussel infested by MN DNR All water points must be cleared through Range Control. To initiate the approval process, units must submit a written request, including unit name, address, telephone number, and type of water point operation including potable water, shower, and/or laundry points, with the preferred location The designated water points are equipped with a crushed rock drain field for disposing of wastewater generated at the water point. Wastewater includes backwash water from water purification, and gray water from laundry and shower activities. Supply and Services (3128) issue the PVC piping for waste water disposal drain field Un-established Water points used by units not hauling their potable water off site must also follow the same approval procedures. However, environmental standards for locating these water points will limit water points of this nature. The standards include a 100 meter setback from lakes, streams, wetlands, and historic sites. Furthermore, wastewater discharge must be mixed with purified water to it s original concentration and shall be applied to land surface using the plastic drain field pipe Crow Wing River site (UM ) is a permanent, self-sufficient electrical pump operated potable water point. This site is used to draw water only It is illegal to transport unpurified water (filtered 40 microns or greater) from infested waters, Mississippi and Crow Wing Rivers, except by DNR permit Water treated with greater than a 40-micron filter may not be discharged where it can run into another basin, another river, or a drain system that does not go to a treatment facility Ensuring that equipment is clean is critical to limiting the spread of invasive species. Any equipment used to treat Mississippi or Crow Wing River water must be treated by one of the following means prior to use in another water body: Power spray equipment to remove dirt, mud, or vegetation. Scraping may be necessary if objects were in the water for extended periods, or 57

66 a) Dry 3 days in temperatures over 65 F. Drying is NOT recommended in cool wet weather (< 65 F.). b) Wash with 104 F. water for 4 minutes (hotter temps result in better and shorter kill times), or c) Freeze for 2 days, or d) Treat water with 750mg/l KCL for 1 hour, followed by 25 mg/l formalin for 2 hours to kill zebra mussel veligers FIRE CONTROL PROCEDURES There shall be no fires started without the permission of Range Control When wild fires are started because of range firing, Range Control will be notified immediately by the responsible unit. Unit personnel will standby to assist Range Control with the fire suppression efforts, if necessary The unit will report the following information to Range Control: a) The location of the fire by range designation, grid, or road reference. b) Whether or not sufficient personnel and equipment are available to extinguish the fire. c) Wildland fires in signed impact areas will be reported and monitored. No unit personnel will enter signed impact areas. d) Fire danger status will be posted on a sign immediately adjacent to E gate outside the Range Control Office. It will also be posted on the Range Bulletin. FIRE DANGER CODE GREEN Moderate YELLOW High Use normal caution. Fire will start easily. Any type of ammunition may be used with care. Smoking is permitted. Use extra caution. Fire will start very easily. The beginning of the high danger period. Any type of ammunition may be used, with care, on ranges and within impact areas. It is recommended that the use of pyrotechnics, demolitions, and heat or flame-producing devices within training areas be limited as much as possible to cleared areas or areas previously burned for that purpose. RED Extreme Flash condition. This is the highest class of fire danger. Fires started are practically impossible to extinguish and usually continue until danger rating conditions improve or they burn themselves out. The utmost caution with fire producing agents and devices must be exercised at all times. The firing of high explosives, pyrotechnics, incendiaries, or other ammunition likely to cause fires is prohibited unless specifically authorized by Range Control HISTORICAL PRESERVATION Camp Ripley has numerous areas of historical or archaeological significance. The majority of these sites have been located and marked. Many of these areas are off limits to all troops. Caution should be maintained when operating near known areas. At no time shall deliberate destruction take place at sites of historical or archaeological significance Any individual finding an artifact or item of historical or archeological significance is required by law and policy to not touch or disturb. Record the location and contact Range Control to initiate the process of determination, if any artifacts are found Digging, and tracked vehicle maneuvers, is prohibited within 100 meters of a historical or archaeological site NOISE MONITORING: Noise is inherent to the operation of Camp Ripley. Of course, with noise, the surrounding communities may be impacted or annoyed. As a result, Camp Ripley Operations Office responds to all noise complaints, and maintains a record of all complaints Electric generators in support of training activities produce considerable noise. When generators are located within 500 meters of the Camp boundaries, digging in or sand bagging will reduce noise levels Current noise abatement policy prohibits unnecessary over-flying of populated areas at altitudes lower than 1,000 feet AGL In addition, the following noise sensitive areas shall be avoided whenever possible: a) Post Headquarters-located at the south end of the airfield. b) VIP Quarters (Valhalla)-located on the West side of the airfield. c) Green Prairie Fish Lake 58

67 d) Lake Alexander e) Crow Wing Lake f) All Turkey farms, directly north of the R4301 area. g) Round Lake and Three Fingers Lake h) Area towns and cities i) The Brainerd Lakes Area, Northwest of the City of Brainerd. j) Mississippi River adjacent to Camp Ripley, below 1,500 feet MSL FIELD FUEL STORAGE/BLADDERS: Camp Ripley has identified 10 areas approved for installing field fuel storage bladders exceeding 1,000 gallons in capacity. Emplacement of bladders in locations other than those approved is prohibited, unless special provisions are requested and granted by the Environmental Office Units proposing to install field fuel storage bladders in approved, or unapproved areas, will submit a written request in advance. The request must include: name, address, and phone number of the unit; amount and type of fuel to be dispensed; number/volume of fuel bladders to be installed; dates of operation; preferred location on Camp Ripley; and the unit point of contact The following guidance pertains to the installation and operation of field fuel storage bladders: a) The site will not be located within 100 meters of any lake, stream, wetlands, or historical site. b) The site will not be located within 200 meters of the Mississippi and Crow Wing rivers. c) Preparation of the site, underlying the fuel bladder, will require excavating the topsoil to provide a level site, and to ensure that all debris is cleared that might otherwise puncture the flexible storage container. d) A continuous berm, surrounding the storage site, will be constructed using on-site soils. The dimensions of the bermed area should not be less than the total capacity of the fuel storage bladder located within the area. The bermed area must be lined with an impervious material to act as a secondary containment, in case of any failure or seepage from the storage container. This material is issued through the Logistics Division, Camp Ripley, (320) /3130. e) The area designated for conveying the fuel (i.e., hoses, piping, etc.) must be underlain with an impermeable liner. f) Range Control, or Environmental Office personnel will conduct daily inspections of the site MOBILE POL DISTRIBUTION POINTS: POL distribution from mobile units is an activity that has the potential of posing environmental concerns; therefore, the following guidance is provided to prevent any negative impacts: The proposed location of distribution points should be coordinated with Range Control Use drip pans at all times for the dispensing nozzles, and the dispensing area should be lined with a small piece of impermeable liner such as plastic or an old fuel bladder Ensure that the fueling hose is drained into the drip pan after each fueling operation and hang the hoses with the nozzle pointed up Provide empty drums for accumulating POL contaminated soil in the event of small spills. The drums should be labeled POL Contaminated Soil. These drums can be obtained at the Logistics Division, Bldg Empty containers should be available to accumulate contaminated/waste fuels. One container for each type of fuel and the containers should be labeled accordingly. These containers are available from the POL Tank Farm. Contaminated fuels will be turned in to the Camp Ripley POL Office, Bldg , (320) Each POL distribution point should be equipped with a spill kit in the event of a spill. The kit should include absorbent materials, shovel and plastic storage bags MECHANICAL DIGGING: Digging or earth excavation requires written approval from the Range Control Office. Request will include type and grid location of excavation with time and duration to be used. Range Control will approve permits with concurrence from the Department of Public Works (DPW) to ensure facilities (above and below ground) are not affected. The request will also be coordinated with the environmental office Mechanical digging is permitted in the training areas, except for the following restrictions: a) Signed tree plantations b) 100 meters from historical sites c) 100 meters from surface water or wetlands d) Active logging sites e) 50 meters from main roads 59

68 f) 200 meters from the Mississippi River Maps with all above listed areas identified are available at Range Control, Bldg , / VEGETATION Units are encouraged to select locations that have sufficient natural concealment. This will minimize the need to cut vegetation for camouflage. However, it is permissible to utilize natural vegetation as deemed necessary for concealing vehicles, gun emplacements, and fortifications. The following restrictions apply: a) Use native hardwood species (oak, maple, aspen, ironwood, hazel brush, etc.) that are less than two inches in diameter. b) Do not cut evergreens (pine, spruce, tamarack, red cedar, etc.) unless special permission is granted through Camp Ripley Range Control Office Larger timbers may be needed for fortification. It is permissible to utilize any dead or down trees throughout the training area. In addition, telephone poles may be requested from the Department of Public Works-Roads and Railroads Division.

69 TAB A RANGE DESCRIPTIONS 1

70 Range and Training Overview Camp Ripley has some of the nation s most modern ranges. The post can accommodate most weapon systems organic to a heavy brigade. A-Range Complex The A-Range Complex allows commanders flexibility during zero and qualification of individual weapons. The complex includes the following ranges (all within walking distance): All weather classrooms Zero and Known Distance Ranges Automated Rifle and Pistol Ranges 7-station MOUT range (with sewer trainer) 23-station Confidence Course Rappel Tower M320 Range Practice Hand Grenade Lane Hand Grenade Qualification Course Land Navigation Course EFMB Litter Obstacle Course Live Fire Facility (Shoot House) Field Leader Reaction Course Miller Complex Camp Ripley has grouped four major ranges (East Range, Center Range, West Range, and North Range, along with M-COFT pad sites) into the Miller Complex. The ranges offer training from individual to platoon level collective tasks. The ranges provide for training of Tank and BFV crews on their respective Gunnery Tables I-XII. The Miller Complex provides for a logical progression and maximum throughput capacity. The Complex allows two battalions to fulfill gunnery requirements during a typical Annual Training of two weeks duration. This Complex provides battle courses for use of live fire or Multiple Integrated Engagement System (MILES) during Situational Training Exercise (STX) of Field Training Exercises (FTX). These exercises train squads through company/team level units on collective tasks in state-of-the-art simulated combat environments. The location of these ranges greatly facilitates their use for gunnery while allowing suitable area for multiple company size lanes training. The Complex can also be integrated into all FTX scenarios on other portions of the training area. Training Areas The Field Training Area (FTA) is divided into 78 separate Training Areas. The Training Areas provide a variety of terrain and vegetation. Camp Ripley s terrain will meet the needs of Mechanized Forces, Light Forces, Support Units, and Special Forces. Special Operations Since Camp Ripley has the Mississippi River and the Crow Wing River as boundaries, special operations units have more freedom to set up training scenarios, including live-fire exercises. The post has surveyed drop zones, numerous water training areas, and has no civilian roads or dwellings in the FTA. Range Map Disclaimer The range maps in this Appendix are not to scale. They are included for reference purposes only. Contact Range Control for scaled range maps. 2

They go over or between the logs and climb down the ladder, they go across the log walkway and climb down the net to the ground. They jump over the log cross member and go to the next station. Soldiers negotiate obstacle by running and stepping in the tires one foot at a time, alternating every other foot. Soldiers mount the low log and jump onto the next log. They grasp over the top of the log with both arms, keeping the belly area in contact with the log. They swing their legs over the log and go to the next log in the same manner. From the last log they lower themselves to the ground. Soldiers jump from one log to another until all logs are negotiated. Soldiers walk up one inclined log and down the one on the other side of the ground. Soldiers step up on a log and walk or run along it, keeping their balance. Soldiers may vault, jump or climb over the log. They must be warned that it is not stationary. Soldiers must not roll or rock the log while others are negotiating the obstacle. Soldiers mount the lower log and then grasp two rungs of the ladder and swing themselves into the air. They negotiate the length of the ladder by releasing one hand at a time and swinging forward, grasping a more distant rung each time. Soldiers step on the lower log and assume the prone position on the horizontal logs. They crawl over the logs to the opposite end of the obstacle. Soldiers approach the underside of the wall, jump and grasp the top, and pull themselves up and over. They slide or jump down the incline to the ground. Soldiers step over each log, alternating their lead foot or using the same ones. Soldiers climb the reverse climb and go down the other side to the ground. 18

Soldiers move forward under the wire on their bellies to the end of the obstacle. The direction of negotiating the crawl should be reversed from time to time. Soldiers gain momentum with a short run, grasp the rope, and swing their bodies forward to the top of the cross member. They release the rope while standing on the wall and jump to the ground. Soldiers vault over the logs, using one or both hands. Soldiers approach the wall and pulls himself up to the top and over to the other side. Soldiers crawl on stomach through trench under the barbed wire. Only one trench is necessary. Soldiers move from one end of the obstacle to the other by weaving their bodies under one bar and over the next. Soldiers climb the inclined ladder to the vertical ladder. They go to the top of the vertical ladder, then down the other side to the ground. Soldiers mount the low log and jump onto the high log. They grasp over the top of the log with both arms, keeping the belly area in contact with it. They swing their legs over the log and lower themselves to the ground. 19
